428 mb .pdf crashes computer

i have a 428MB 32 pg .pdf file that always crashes my computer when i try to print through preview and/or acrobat reader. It varies every time with how far it will get through until the crash. It always sends the job to the printer and starts the process each page but my computer is then a paperweight. i have a canon mp500 AIO printer. the force quit window says its not responding but one day i left it and it went through the process of pages, but then got an error on print. i have tried printing after a restart with no apps open, and still nothing.

Opening pdf crashes computer

Hi
Frustrated with my laptop which crashes (black screen/ fan goes into overdrive) when I open certain PDFs or run iPlayer (You tube seems to be OK)
I have a Dell Studio 1558, Intel i7 CPU 4GB RAM, 64 bit, Windows 7 Home Premium with ATI Radeon HD5470 graphics card.
I have seen lots of references on various sites to similar problems but not sure where to start to attempt a systematic fix. Have tried different browsers (prefer chrome), have downloaded drivers but problems persist.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

80gb classic crashes computer, get blue screen.

Ipod crashes computer when itunes is running, get blue screen.
A while back my ipod started having trouble playing songs. I would tell it to play a playlist of say 50 songs, it would then freeze for about 30 minutes, and when it would finally start playing, it would be 30 songs into the playlist. I also couldn't get itunes to read it.
So I used itunes restore feature, and then after that, every time it tries to synch to itunes, it would crash the computer, and I would get the blue screen saying that my computer was dumping physical memory. Well nothing gets dumped from my computer when it does it, and the ipod stays the same.
I even tried formatting it manually, having windows fix it, having itunes restore it again, but always the same thing... once it was restored.. BAM computer crashes.
I can have it plugged in no problems, I can run itunes no problem, but when the two are done at the same time, it would crash my computer.
So I looked for other reasons. I needed major updates for vista, so I downloaded all of them, which took a while. And I even uninstalled itunes and re-downloaded and installed. Now what happens is Itunes freezes when it's plugged in, but I can still use all my other windows, just itunes is inoperable while the ipod is plugged in. As soon as it is unplugged, itunes starts working fine again.
I'm not that great with this sort of tech thing, so any suggestions would really be appreciated.

many thanks, i!
atapi.sys is a Windows OS file ... it's your Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. So it's plausible that it's either got damaged, or we're looking at a driver issue that is manifesting as trouble with atapi.sys. So we'll proceed on those two fronts to begin with.
Just in case the file is damaged, I think we should try an sfc /scannow. It's not user-friendly on an XP system, but the following document may be of some help (fingers crossed):
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
If no joy with the scannow, we'll try making sure your drivers and so forth are up to date. If you've got a name brand PC, head to the manufacturer's website and look for the downloads page for your model. Look for newer versions of firmware for your hard drive, BIOS updates and chipset driver updates (in particular), but now might be a good time to check on things like video drivers, RAID controllers and so forth.
If you've got third-party componentry installed in the PC (like for example, a USB card, or an external drive, or a new internal hard drive), or if you have a home/custom-built PC, head to the websites of the manufacturer's components (in particular the motherboard manufacturer), and check for newer drivers, firmware and BIOS versions there. The following document may be of some assistance with that:
Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
Any joy with any of those measures?

Is there a way to get my music from my old library (crashed computer) on my new computer so I can sync that librabry with my new purchases?

Is there a way to get my music from my old library which is located on a crashed computer - to my new computer so I can sync that librabry with my new purchases?

You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

When I open a PDF the Computer is acting as if I haven't purchased the Acrobat Adobe XI when in fact I have.

When I open a PDF the Computer is acting as if I haven't purchased the Acrobat Adobe XI when in fact I have.

It what way is it acting? For example do you mean that you get messages suggesting you are running a trial? If so you need to license the software. For a subscription, sign in to Acrobat. For a purchased copy, enter the serial number.

CS3: Export PDF crash...located the source, now what?

InDesign CS3 keeps crashing on page 86 or 87 of a file I'm trying to Export to PDF. I know this from watching the progress bar move across the screen, everything is fine until the status box shows page 86/87, then poof, InDesign disappears and requests to send an error report. I was under the impression this was being caused by the Export PDF settings. With printer's marks enabled, the Export PDF crash occurs on page 86. Turn printer's marks off and the crash happens on page 87. So I tried all kinds of things with Export PDF settings but came up empty.
Then I messed around with pages 86 and 87. Removed text frames from page 86 and tried various combinations with Export PDF. Did the same thing on page 87, and then combinations of 86 and 87 at the same time. No good...keeps crashing. I removed ALL content from pages 86 and 87 and the Export PDF still crashes, even with blank pages.
I finally got a clue when moving text frames to other pages. Both pages have 4 text frames each. When I moved the top text frame on page 87 to a different page -- in this case I moved it to page 98 -- the Export PDF crashed on page 96. Not page 98 where it was located, but page 96. Weird, but it gave me a clue.
Long story short:
Export PDF causes InDesign to crash on page 86 or 87 unless the uppermost text frame on page 87 is moved to a non-printing layer. The text frame can remain on page 87 or be on the pasteboard; either way, it must be non-printing to prevent a crash in Export PDF mode.
Any suggestions? I've already searched the text frame and nothing out of the ordinary catches my eye. The text frame is necessary for a book project. I can't consolidate it with another frame.
Thanks in advance!

My memory is not so great after all...
The bug was in CS4 and it was fixed in 6.0.4. I remembered the rest correctly...
Here's the tech note:

FCP HD 4.5 not taking clips longer than 4min and in FCP Im getting ( general error 34) in my
audio/video settings. Computer crashes and external hard drives go off line.
In past FCP rescue fixed it.

You need to check to make sure that the version of the OS, FCP and quicktime are compatible. Also, is your scratch disk formatted macosextended? If not, it should be.

Transferring DW license from crashed computer

My old iMac's hard-drive crashed and the folks at the Apple
store were only able to get our pictures and videos off the old
machine. We bought a new iMac and I tried re-installing DreamWeaver
MX 2004 on the new machine and the installation is successful;
however, it won't open. I looked up the problem online and it says
I needed to transfer the license from the old iMac to the new iMac
in order for the program to work. Which is not possible ... as the
hard-drive crashed and I obviously couldn't do this. Adobe support
will not help on the matter because there is a newer version out
(what horrible customer support!). So, does anyone know how to
transfer the license from a crashed computer? Or have any other
suggestion besides buying the stupid software AGAIN!?

In the activation screen (when the program won't activate),
look for the
button "more activation options" (or something like that).
Find the option
to "activate by telephone" and call the number.
I *just* had that exact same experience -- hard crash, new
machine, couldn't
de-activate on the old machine, and couldn't activate on the
new machine
because I had reached the limit on number of activations.
I called the number, and I reached a nice Indian gentleman
who gave me an
authorization number to plug in, and I was back up and
running.
This was yesterday, so my information is very current.
Actually, it was
about 10pm last night (eastern time), so you don't even have
to call during
any particular business hours.

HT1296 How do you put all music on Ipod back onto a previously crashed computer in which the original music files were not able to be restored?

Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.

from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
Yes i have.
if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
Thanks for trying to help by the way :]

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad

DRM-protected PDF crashes Safari on iPad (iOS 5.1/9B176). After restart the document is blank. When choose Acrobat from "Open it..." list it says "The document is empty". Is there a workaround?
It looks like Safari PDF preview software failes to handle DRM protected PDF (by Adobe LiveCycle ES). I am not sure but this was working before.
Thanks.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > Safari then tap to delete history, cookies, and data then try Safari.
* No data is lost due to a reset

HT1420 My laptop crashed and I have authorized another laptop. I want to deauthorize the "crashed" computer but it is no longer working. All I can find is how to deauthorize "this" computer. Any way I can do that?

I need to deauthorize a crashed laptop that is no longer usable. I can only find how to deauthorize "this" computer. Can anyone help?

You need to use the Deauthorize All function. Remote individual deauthorization of a crashed computer isn't possible, and remote deauthorization of a working computer requires VNC access to it.

Random crashing computer SOLUTION

Finally a solution to everyone with a randomly crashing computer. A tech needed >4 days to tell us that the LOGIC BOARD needs to be replaced.
I hope you bought Apple Care . . . we were told it will cost $1500. On a new computer, that has had this issue since day one, but nobody could ever solve it.
After numerous trips to tech people, only to be told "It's fine" when it never was - while we had Apple coverage. We aren't feeling a 100% confident with this diagnosis - when surprise, surprise we no longer have coverage.
Buying a new computer actually seems like a more cost effective and reliable alternative. How sad. I remember when Apple was a good product. Now all I see are flashbacks to my days with my "Dell from ****!"

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I agree with CCRDVR. An Apple product specialist once told me that if the problem originally occurred during the warranty period and was not fixed, that Apple would honor the warranty until it was fixed, even if the warranty had lapsed in the meantime. I hope you have a paper trail of attempting to get this problem fixed, as that would clearly document it. But even if you don't, put together a summary of your attempts to have this problem solved and call Apple and ask to speak to Apple Customer Relations. They are an upper tier whose mission is to solve problems and have happy Apple customers. Always be very nice and polite and reasonable, and explain all that you did trying to get this problem solved while under warranty. There is a very good chance that you will get some satisfaction.
Good luck!
